Chris Rice’s Cannabis: A Lost History

Tying threads from China, India, Europe, Japan and elsewhere, Cannabis: A Lost History takes a long-lens look at ganja. From early medical and religious use, cannabis’s path as a sacrament and dietary staple is toured, ending with hemp in early America and the modern war on drugs. Though Rice reaches a bit in places, Cannabis: A Lost History is a great primer on humanity’s past with our favorite plant.
